28
Q

What is the overall purpose of glycolysis?

A

to split glucose into two pyruvic acids

29
Q

A

all of them - does not reqire o2

30

A

reactants: glucose, 2 atp, 2 nad+, 4 adp+p
products: 2 pyruvic acids, 2 nadh, 4 atp, 2 h2o

break pyruvic acid into co2

32

33
Q

What is sent to the etc after the krebs?

A

nadh + fadh2

34
Q

What does the electron transport chain do?

A

to move electrons given off of nadh + fadh2

35
Q

What stops the electron tc from getting clogged? how? what is the formula?

A
  • oxygen flowing around
  • takes extra electrons
  • o2 + 4h+ + 4e- > 2h2o
36
Q

What are the reactants and products of the ETC?

A

reactants: nadh, fadh2, o2, adp+p
products: atp, h2o, nad+, fad

37
Q

When does fermentation take place?

A

when there is no oxygen

38
Q

what are the 2 different types of fermentation?

A

alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation

39

43
Q

what does lactic acid fermentation do?
